商品の説明
内容説明
Good intentions are not enough. You want to change things in your organisation or in the world, but despite your best efforts you run into obstacles and resistance. The temptation is to see the challenges as lying outside ourselves. We grasp at a model or a tool, or we find other people slow to get the point or worse - obstructive. But the real challenge we face is often ourselves. Drawing on deep experience of developing leaders from a wide range of public sector, private sector, community and non-government organisations, Geoff Aigner identifies the inner tensions and work involved in making change. He challenges common assumptions we make about ourselves and our motivations, and offers strategies to explore approaches to leadership and develop effective and truly compassionate ways of pursuing change.

Leadership - the bit we can control: ourselves
2011/9/5
形式:Kindle版|Amazonが確認した購入
This book is a wonderful addition to the books on adaptive leadership - looking at the complex relationships that exists in any system but most particularly, our role in that system and the personal responsibility we are prepared to take to change and adapt ourselves.
Leadership Beyond Good Intentions, as its title suggests, recognises that people in leadership roles usually have very good intentions but that good intentions are not enough. It encourages us to examine our own capacity to change and develop beyond this. The book takes us into the complex dynamics of adaptive leadership where we are often expected to solve all the problems. It reminds us of how easily we get `seduced' into believing we must do this. If this is all we do, we create a dependent workforce; if we fail (as inevitably we must) we get blamed and criticised. The questions that lie at the heart of this book are: How do we challenge these expectations to exercise leadership, informed by our values, and enable others to do their best work? What is the work we must do on ourselves?
In a very conversational tone, Aigner invites us to examine the values that lie behind our intentions, talking to us about the challenging work of adaptive leadership, and encouraging us to reflect on the changes we can make. One of the most compelling aspects of this book are the reflective questions at the end of every chapter, bringing every point back to our own experience and helping us shape how we could do things differently. It's like having your own executive coach!
The book guides us through ways to make our actions congruent with our values and intentions and to exercise true leadership by enabling others.
It is a wonderful blend of theory and ideas, values, actions and coaching questions. If you are prepared to reflect on your own intentions and actions in order to exercise leadership in challenging circumstances, you can do no better than read this book.
